Re: smog frustrations!!!!

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

Do you have a digital multimeter?  If so, check the voltage coming 
from the O2 sensor.  Once warm, it should sweep back and forth 
between about .1 to .9 volts  with the average being about .5 volt.  
If not, replace the O2 sensor.  Check the CO adjustment.  Where did 
it not pass, Hydrocarbons at idle?  Do you know of anyone that has an 
infrared temp sensor?  The inlet and outlet temperatures of the 
catalytic converter should have a temperature difference of about 100 
deg F.  with the inlet being around 300 deg F.  Just some tips to 
help your car pass.  BTW, if the smog deal was run by Nazi's, 
wouldn't they tend to be nice to our fine cars from de fatherland?
